Besivance 0.6% 5 ml

What is Besivance 0.6% Eye Drops

Besivance 5 Eye Drops is a prescription antibiotic for treating bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye). It contains Besifloxacin (0.6% w/v), an advanced Fluoroquinolone antibiotic that effectively stops bacterial growth and prevents the infection from spreading further.

Manufactured by Bausch Lomb Inc., this medication is intended for external use only and should be used strictly as directed by your doctor.

This antibiotic eye drop inhibits bacterial DNA replication, ultimately eliminating the infection. It is not effective against viral or fungal eye infections, so it should only be used when bacterial conjunctivitis is confirmed. Besivance provides rapid relief from symptoms, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort associated with bacterial conjunctivitis.

For best results, Besivance must be used consistently and as prescribed. Even if symptoms improve early, completing the course is crucial to prevent reinfection and antibiotic resistance. If you notice persistent irritation, worsening symptoms, or vision changes, consult your doctor promptly. Avoid sharing the bottle with others to prevent cross-contamination and ensure hygienic application every time.
